C’mon Tony, You Know What She Meant

Think Progress is reporting an exchange during yesterday’s press briefing between White House press corps veteran, Helen Thomas, and press secretary Tony Snow:

Q: Are there any members of the Bush family or this administration in this war?
SNOW: Yeah, the President. The President is in the war every day.
Q: Come on, that isn’t my question –
SNOW: Well, no, if you ask any president who is a commander in chief –
Q: On the frontlines, where ever…
SNOW: The President.

You know, even if Snow meant that the president thinks about the war each day and is on the front lines in spirit with the soldiers, he’s still lying.
